From that web site we are told, amongst so much umming around , almost fawning around Einstein, the following. "Recognition of a faster-than-lightspeed propagation of gravity, as indicated by all existing experimental evidence, may be the key to taking conventional physics to the next plateau."' They just cannot consider or admit error and say "go back to basics" ..Never the aether, just the next plateau of ever increasing gibberish.. I have never encountered so much uncertainty and contradiction in modern science than I have read in the last few weeks. Why do we pander to or rush to use their alien philosophy? I was curious, so if he is indeed correct in the evidence of gravity being instantaneous then maybe someone else may be right when he said the aether was solid.. something I inferred months ago here, in expressing the aether as an effect caused by the physical solidity of the fourth dimension, we experience as time. Many years ago I pushed an object and moved it with a 12 inch steel rule. Was that force transmitted faster than light I wondered. Brainwashed as I was that light c was the limit, I decided the propagation was due to compression of the molecules and atoms...Perhaps that was wrong reasoning.. but was it? Is hydraulic transmission instantaneous? And if g is instaneous, why does the high tide lag minutes behind the moon, rather than being right up there with it.. ?
